When The Time Comes lyrics - Chaka Khan

(from "Everybody's Talking About Jamie" soundtrack)

I'm a-ready when the time comes

I'm a-ready when the time comes

My opportunity to shine comes

I'm a-ready when the time comes

Look at me, I'm back again

Feeling the joy that a new day can bring

There's new music, there's new sounds

All the excitement got me spinning 'round

So I'm gonna seize the, seize the day

I ain't gonna let it get away

I ain't gonna let it pass me by

I've got the wings to fly

And I'm ready when the time comes

I'm a-ready when the time comes

I'm a-ready when the time comes (I'm ready)

My opportunity to shine comes

I'm a-ready when the time comes

We're on the edge of possibility

And we're gonna blaze a trail for the world to see

So when the time comes

The time comes, the time comes, I'm ready

Yeah

Oh, and each day I can't wait to see

Just what the world has in store for me, yeah

That's a joy you can't improve

When an emotion makes your body move, oh oh

Every little turn and twirl and twist

Baby, it is too hard to resist

And you hear the song that starts to play

Saying today, today

Ready when the time comes

I'm a-ready when the time comes (I'm ready)

My opportunity to shine comes

I'm a-ready when the time comes

We're on the edge of opportunity

And we're gonna blaze a trail for the world to see

So when the time comes

The time comes, the time comes, I'm ready

I'm ready

When the time comes for love

And the time comes for hope

When the time comes for friends

And the ones who helped me cope

(The times I was down and you lifted me up)

'Cause the time comes for joy

And the family I love, yeah

I'm ready when the time comes

I'm ready when the time comes

My opportunity to shine comes

Ready when the time comes

We're on the edge of opportunity

And we're gonna blaze a trail for the world to see

So when the time comes

The time comes, the time comes

When the time comes

I'm a-ready when the time comes

My opportunity to shine comes

I'm a-ready when the time comes

We're on the edge of possibility

And we're gonna blaze a trail for the world to see

So when the time comes

The time comes, the time comes

I'm ready

I'm ready

I'm ready

I'm ready, yeah, yeah
